Engineering Design Graphics 1

Introduces the design process used in the engineering fields, crucial for drafters as support in engineering drafting. Uses CAD methods and sketching techniques to solve 3-D space problems. Solves problems with spatial relationships for determining true lengths, angels, surfaces, volumes and other information applying descriptive geometry methods. Students complete detailed drawings, determine volume and weight of a machined part, and present a design proposal. Two class hours, two lab hours. Fall only. Prerequisite: EGR102 and EGR119.
